[0002] The purpose of breathing training is to improve ventilation, improve the elasticity of the lungs and chest, maintain and increase the mobility of the chest, strengthen effective coughing, strengthen respiratory muscles, improve breathing coordination, relieve chest tension, and enhance the patient's physical fitness. Breathing training generally includes pursed lip breathing, abdominal breathing, partial breathing and the use of breathing trainers. Pursed lip breathing and abdominal breathing generally require the patient to take a sitting position, which is inconvenient for some bedridden patients. The most common breathing trainer is a small ball blowing device, which needs to be placed on a table or platform, and the patient needs to hold the mouthpiece in his mouth to blow. For bedridden patients, the blowing tube is relatively short, and the patient or his family needs to hold it on the bed to fix it, which is inconvenient to use and costs dozens of yuan. Other breathing trainers are more expensive, increasing the patient's treatment cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a breathing trainer, which effectively solves the problem that the existing breathing training method is restricted by the patient's body position and has high cost.

[0014] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 It is given, including a bottle cap 1 with an opening facing downward, and the lower side of the bottle cap 1 is detachably connected to the bottle body 2. The bottle cap 1 is provided with a circular groove running through from top to bottom, a rubber ring 3 is fixed in the circular groove, a hose 4 is sleeved in the rubber ring 3, the lower end of the hose 4 is inserted into the bottle body 2 and the upper free end thereof is sleeved with an adjustment mechanism, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment block 5, the adjustment block 5 is provided with a circular hole running through left and right, the hose 4 can pass through the circular hole, an empty slot 6 is provided in the adjustment block 5, and two upper and lower opposite splints 7 are slidably connected in the empty slot 6, the hose 4 is located between the two splints 7, and the two splints 7 can move relative to or away from each other.

[0016] In order to enable the bottle body 2 to be detachably connected to the bottle cap 1 , a first thread groove 9 is provided on the inner wall of the bottle cap 1 , and the upper side of the bottle body 2 is threadably connected to the first thread groove 9 .

[0017] The inner diameter of the rubber ring 3 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the hose 4 .

[0018] In order to enable the two splints 7 to move relative to or away from each other, a vertical rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected in the empty slot 6, and a second thread groove 10 is respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the rotating shaft 8. The rotation directions of the two second thread grooves 10 are opposite, and the splints 7 are threadedly connected to the second thread grooves 10 on the corresponding sides. The upper end of the rotating shaft 8 extends out of the adjusting block 5 and is fixed with a handwheel 11.

[0019] In order to ensure that the water in the bottle body 2 can bubble smoothly when air is blown into the bottle body 2, the bottle cap 1 is provided with a breathable one-way valve 12 with its opening facing outward.

[0020] In order to facilitate carrying or fixing the bottle body 2, mounting rings are fixed on both sides of the bottle cap 1, and a shoulder strap 13 is fixed between the two mounting rings.

[0021] The hose 4 can be made of the same material as the infusion set.

[0022] When the utility model is in use, the bottle body 2 and the bottle cap 1 are installed together, and the bottle body 2 is filled with water, the lower end of the hose 4 is inserted into the water, and the two clamps 7 are in the initial state of not squeezing the hose 4;

[0023] When the patient is performing the blowing training, he / she holds the free end of the hose 4 in his / her mouth, takes a deep breath, and then blows air into the hose 4. The gas enters the water in the bottle 2 through the hose 4, and the water bubbles upward with a "gurgling" sound. When the patient finishes blowing, the water in the bottle 2 stops bubbling. The patient repeats the above action, blowing air into the hose 4 after each deep breath, which has the effect of training lung function.

[0024] The depth of the hose 4 inserted into the water can be adjusted according to the patient's lung function or respiratory function. By pulling the hose 4 upward or inserting it downward with a little force, the rubber ring 3 will be deformed. When the lower end of the hose 4 is far away from the water surface, the patient needs to blow hard, and the bubbling sound emerging from the water will be relatively low. When the lower end of the hose 4 is close to the water surface, the bubbling sound emerging from the water will be relatively crisp. Therefore, when the patient's breathing ability is slightly poor, the hose 4 can be shallowly inserted into the water. If the patient's breathing ability is still good, the hose 4 can be inserted deep into the water for training.

[0025] The cross-sectional area of the hose 4 can also be adjusted while keeping the depth of the hose 4 in the water unchanged. The handwheel 11 is turned, and the handwheel 11 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. Since the splint 7 is slidingly connected to the empty groove 6 and is threadedly connected to the second thread groove 10, the threads of the two second thread grooves 10 have opposite rotation directions. Therefore, the two splints 7 move relative to each other, gradually pinching the hose 4, making the area of the pinched part of the hose 4 smaller, that is, reducing the amount of gas passing through per unit area, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the training intensity. After adjustment, the handwheel 11 is released. Due to the self-locking characteristics of the spiral transmission, the two splints 7 will not move accidentally, and the patient can perform blowing training.

[0026] The bottle cap 1 in the utility model is similar to the bottle cap 1 on a common mineral water bottle, can be adapted to a variety of water bottles, is easy to make, clean or replace, and the adjustment mechanism can be slid off the hose 4 to facilitate replacement or cleaning of the hose 4.

[0027] The utility model is provided with a shoulder strap 13, which is convenient for the patient to carry the bottle body 2 around the neck when sitting or standing to do breathing training, and to do breathing training anytime and anywhere. If the patient is lying on the bed, the shoulder strap 13 can also be tied to the fence, and the patient can do breathing training by holding the hose 4 in his mouth. It is not restricted by the patient's body position and has strong practicality.
